~ The Canteen Music Dedication ~ (Saturday Night Jukebox) Welcome to all of our Troops, Veterans, and their families!! The Canteen Music Dedication has always been and will continue to be for you!! Thank you for joining us each week!! |
~ Music Dedication ~ Tribute To The Blues *We couldn't list everyone! So? Don't complain! The Canteen Deejays wish to dedicate this to Ms.Behavin, Mr.Behavin, mylife, acad1228, and all Blues Music Fans out there!! The Beginning Of The Blues - The Early Artists! (1920s and earlier artists) "Dirty Blues" *Some of the recordings are very old. We tried to find the best recordings from all the artists. Also, you'll find the women singers were just as fabulous if not more so than their male counterpart.
The Blues |
Born out of slavery and necessity, "The Blues" has transformed the musical landscape into one of the cornerstones of all popular American music enjoyed today. With it's roots deeply sowed on the plantations in the South, the rise of African Americans after the Civil War gave way to a musical genre that has captivated folks from around the world. In the beginning, it was merely a "holler" to field slaves to let them know that the slave master was coming. It was a way to protect and warn other slaves. From there, it became "store porch" entertainment for blacks in the South.
It's heritage was born of African slaves brought to America. It's roots are deeply Southern at it's core. However, it spans from the Delta (Mississippi), Texas, St. Louis, Memphis, and Chicago. To educate people about the true origins and beginning of the Blues, we've decided to take you on a musical journey from the beginning and progress from there. |
Delta Blues
Blues Tidbits |
Bukka White & BB King are cousins.Robert Lockwood was Robert Johnson's stepson at one point. Many of the artists that we are playing could fit into more than one category of The Blues. In fact, many of the Blues artist actually migrated elsewhere and recorded their albums in various parts of the country. Many of the Blues artist tend to have the same "nicknames". For example, "Red", "Magic", "Blind", "Slim", etc.... Many northerners were unaware of Blues music before it hit the radio. During WWI & WWII, they were introduced to Blues music from their Southern counterparts. Ironic they would have to travel to Europe in order to find out about music in their own country. Blind Blake and a few other Blues artists were never to be heard from again after they had "commercial" success in the black communities. The rumors still point to lynchings. Sonny Boy Williamson ( Chicago Blues) found out about Sonny Williamson II through "King Biscuit Time". "King Biscuit" was the black radio show that played all the current blues hits at that the time. Sonny Boy Williamson II's name is actually Rice Miller. |
Texas Blues
Harmonica Blues
"Play Some Blues, Chick" *In other words, this thread is already long! We're wrapping it up! Sorry we couldn't fit everyone! You'll probably recognize more artists here!

Just got an email from a friend. She drives The Wall (the traveling one) from town to town.
This morning, Saturday, I took off for MA and got as far as Fishkill, NY and will drive onto MA tomorrow. I will meet the state police and many motorcycles at a rest stop on the MA turnpike, and they will escort me into Boylston. A fun part of the job. We set up on Wednesday and will be open until Monday..tear down and on Tuesday, go to East Haven, CT, set up for the week, tear down and on the following Tuesday, move to Billerica, MA.
I got to see it here in Anchorage a couple years ago. WOW! Very moving.

In the misty moonlight...
on the cobblestone path
the Lord and his Lady
considered a dance...
The plans were laid out with the greatest of care
that thousands of dancers would come for the Fair.

That must be a big job driving the wall around. I've seen the real one a bunch of times but not the traveling one.

"This is Massachusetts. The only time Democrats laugh it is fake. Here, they look at you as if you're crazy which makes you laugh more, which makes them more crazy. It's great!"OK, I have been backtracking a thread of comments for a bit, and I simply cannot find the true genesis of certain comments. Screw it, I move on.......
I am reminded of a certain local (Boston area) radio commentator comments a while back concerning the fact that persons who appreciate music seem to think that the proper interpretations of Music and Lyrics does universally support a left wing agenda.
Personally, I think that there are times when persons with musical talents simply do not understand their own gifts.
Other times I think that certain gifted persons are simply willfully ignorant.
IMHO: music, and verse are not Left or Right. Only the very ignorant would ever imagine that the contrary was so. If a musician or singer were to disagree with that notion then I would suggest that their talent is actually nothing more than superficial. That is to say, ultimately music and politics do not mix. Music being used as a criticism of Politics and the Society on the other hand makes perfect sense to me.
Rant......
As if Peter, Paul, and Mary were great. As if Bruce Springteen was not influenced by a certain Dan Peek (formerly of the rock group America) when he wrote Born in the USA! I see so many examples of what outside of the music world would and only could be called plagiarism. Music, just as certain scientific advancement is built upon the works of others. Gosh I am having trouble expressing myself in this rant.
The Democrat Party in the USA is an abomination. It is clearly a mutation which evolved from a group espoused to a failed agenda which endorsed slavery and also an agenda which was the sui generis of one of the schisms that has polarized our country for the last forty plus years.
The Democrat Party only can be effective when it keeps people in conflict. The Democrats are divisive, and they are proponents of a plantation mentality. Now as ever, they endorse slavery yet they call it by a different name. They are Orwellian indeed.
End of Rant......
I need a drink............
